Publisher's summary

Kensey Lyons has never had "normal." Instead, she has a mother who lives in her head, a stepfather who's on death row, and the stigma that comes with being the child of an extramarital affair. Writing has always been her escape. Knowing the reception her books receive will be tainted by her personal life, Kensey secretly writes under a pen name when she's not working part-time at her godmother's bar. Her world might not be exciting, but she likes it exactly as it is.

When she meets alarmingly compelling businessman Blake Mercier, the snap of attraction is instant. She doesn't like it. Doesn't want to be drawn to this man who is blatantly dangerous, carries dark secrets, and lives life by his own rules. Neither of them make a great first impression on the other, so she's more than surprised when he begins to pursue her with a single-minded focus that is unsettling, thrilling, and infuriating. Her gut tells her to keep her distance, but Blake won't let her run. Won't give her space.

There's another person who won't give her space. Someone who has discovered the secret of her pen name and who seems intent on taunting her. And as Kensey struggles to identify her persecutor, Blake is by her side, determined to keep her safe...because Blake Mercier always holds tight to what's his. Always.

Riveting!

I put off reading this because of the other reviews and I've got to say I should've trusted my own instincts because I regret not getting to it sooner. This book is amazing! It keeps you guessing until the end, so it's not super predictable. The psychology involved between all the characters and their backgrounds was on point. The FMCs strength is not an outward physical presence but an inner resilience and strength of character. She is definitely not a damsel in distress, she is practical and takes help when it is needed, which is not a form of weakness. Give it a try. If you've read other Suzanne Wright books, the MMC follows a similar Alpha male demeanor so you won't be disappointed!

Aw!

I really loved Blake and Kensey! They were great together! Fantastic story as well!! I love this author.

awesome.

I thought it was an awesome book. I liked the length of it, the story was good, and the audible was good. Got my monies worth out of that credit. Thank You.

Great story

I love her books. This is only the 2nd one I’ve read, but I like how she builds the story. I love how her character communicate! I wish there were more like this. I think I’ll try her sci-fi and shifter books next.

Lived it

First, I despised the way the narrator pronounced her mother’s name! I loved that the heroine had a backbone. That is lacking in so many romance novels

Better than 50 Shades!

Dare I say that I liked this book more than 50 Shades? Loved the chemistry between Kenzie and Blake… I didn’t find myself in moments where I wanted to roll my eyes and it was refreshing to read a romance book where the drama between characters was not drawn out, leaving you with a repetitive story line.

Great Story

Great read. Good plot and great build to the conclusion. I hope there os a second book for Sarah.

Part 2 me PLEASE !!!!! From Sara POV

I love your work you never fail to disappoint me ! Keep the steamy scenes I live for it !!!!

Such a unique erotic mystery romance

And SHIVER you will when you read the amazingly hot love scenes. I love Ms Wright’s two Pack series, but this was just as great. I usually always figure out “who done it”, but not completely this time. Ms Cook was a terrific narrator also. This is a true “don’t miss” listen.

Contemporary romance by the PNR queen

I’m a big fan of Suzanne Wright’s paranormal work and wasn’t sure what to expect for this book. The queen of PNR didn’t disappoint!

Some elements (over the top possessive Alpha male character and strong sassy heroine and a suspenseful storyline) are clearly present. Of course, the world build is less present than in het paranormal series.

I really liked finding out who was causing the problems and I hadn’t seen it coming (which is always a good thing IMO)

While I like Samantha Cook’s narration, she isn’t my favorite female narrator.
